Don’t stretch fence too tight warns ISU engineer
Iowa State Univer sity Extension ag engineer Harvey Hirning cautions against over tightening woven wire fences. He advises maintaining medium tension and stopping when small kinks straighten, noting 20 to 40 rod lengths are workable but half miles are hard. He warns tractors can damage fences if over-straightening occurs and recommends grounding every 200 to 300 feet for lighting protection.

Rust doesn t mean end of wire fence
ISU Extension engineer Harvey Hirning notes that fence life extends after rust begins. He cites 14 gauge with Type I zinc coating rusting by year five with about eight-year total life, while nine gauge lasts over 20 years. He advises heavy gauge for strength and heavy zinc coatings for rust resistance, with Type III coatings extending rust free periods beyond 13 years. Even rusted fence wire can partition pastures, but road and property lines require stronger fences.
